My husband and I went to QC Dance to prepare for our first dance at our wedding. Tony and Natalie were Fabulous! They helped us choreograph our dance and taught us a few extra dances along the way. They were excellent teachers and they kept our lessons light, fun and energizing. Needless to say, thanks to QC Dance we totally Nailed our First Dance!
